반응 단계

- 2-Amino-5,7-dimethylbenzothiazole was prepared by treatment of 3,5-dimethylaniline with ammonium thiocyanate and conversion of the resulting N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl) thiourea with bromine and chloroform (Barnikow and Bodeker Ber. 100(5), 1394), m.p. 142°-144°. 2-Amino-5,7-dimethylbenzothiazole, 6.16 g. (34.5 millimoles) was added to a solution of a pea-sized piece of sodium in 40 ml. of anhydrous ethanol. Ethoxymethylenemalononitrile, 4.22 g. (34.5 millimoles), was added to the solution and the mixture was heated at reflux for about 2 hrs. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration, washed with ethanol, and dried in vacuo at 100°, yielding 6.93 g. (72.7%) of the desired product which was a yellow solid, m.p. 239°-241°. A small portion was recrystallized from 95% ethanol and submitted for analysis, m.p. 241°-243°.
